Panel attachment procedure
After removing the attachment bands from the main unit, insert the unit
through the front of the panel, and fasten it from the rear side of the panel
using the attachment bands.
Caution
!
(1)
Make sure the installation location is strong enough to support the unit's weight. If it is
not strong enough, or if the unit is not properly attached, the display may fall, possibly
resulting in injury.
(2) When installing the unit in a system, be sure there is sufficient heat dissipation so that the
temperature inside the system does not reach or exceed 50°C.

Make the input signal lines as short as possible. Keep them away from other
signal lines.
If there is a lot of external noise, use a two-wire shielded cable and form
a single connection between the outer sheath and the LO side at the signal
source.
